Episode Details

The Chicago Bulls’ new era is officially underway with Tiago Splitter replacing Billy Donovan as head coach — and Bulls fans should be ready for a very different style of basketball in Chicago.

Haize breaks down Splitter’s offensive principles, including more cutting, ball screens, Iverson cuts, conceptual reads, pace, three-point volume, and a system that could help unlock Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and the Bulls’ young core. How will Splitter’s background with the San Antonio Spurs, Paris Basketball and Portland Trail Blazers shape the Bulls’ identity?

Then we play Facts or Cap on the latest Bulls rumor: could Chicago actually trade down from the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft? Multiple teams have reportedly checked in, but is Bryson Graham really willing to move off a chance at Cam Boozer or Caleb Wilson?

Finally, Haize builds his dream Bulls draft class if Cam Boozer is available at No. 4: Cam Boozer, Morez Johnson Jr. and Ryan Conwell. Could this trio give the Bulls the perfect blend of offensive structure, physical identity and shooting?
